Randy Pausch's Last Lecture opens with Pausch giving some background information about himself. Randy Pausch was a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University and was ill and only had three to six months left of good health. In Pausch's last lecture he discusses achieving your childhood dreams. Pausch states his childhood dreams and how he worked to achieve them no matter what they were. What I have learned from Randy Pausch is it is important to stay focused to achieve your dreams. Sometimes you cannot do it all by yourself so it would be good to develop a Personal Learning Network in order to learn new things and achieve more. Pausch's lecture reminded me of how important team work can be. Pausch used a system similar to Project Based Learning where he assigned his students projects in order for his students to learn on their own, they also went on field trips. I liked how Pausch used technology during his lecture in order to inform and get the audience's attention. I also liked how he discussed topics that would interest the audience. Randy Pausch's last lecture was so inspirational and I will definitely use some of his techniques in my career.
Hi, Heather, I too enjoyed Randy Pausch's last lecture. He was probably an amazing teacher. By watching his video, one could say he is still teaching and motivating. You mentioned team work in your post. If you have a great team it makes learning so much easier. You clearly understand what Randy's message was in his lecture. Great job. I am sure you will do well in this class and as a teacher.
